Your comment rings partly true, but goes over the line, me thinks. I'm much less interested in the America that can beat up and kill other people and one that can employ Americans and keep jobs on our soil. To me that is the real question of being a "great American." If you are so proud why didn't you sign your name to your comment? Your comment rings partly true, but goes over the line, me thinks.

As a Canadian, I chose a Canadian university for my MBA. After alot of grief trying to open up shop in the US, I started my business here in British Columbia, Canada. It really can amount to a great deal of frustration at times trying to work in the US. Just in case you're curious, I'm also married to a US citizen from San Francisco.

The whole thing needs a serious overhaul. The H1-B program is a DISGRACE. It's the next thing to indentured servitude. I've seen H1-B's told everything from "Your wife will be baby sitting my kids", "You need to pick up my dry cleaning on the way to work from now on", "I need someone to clean my house", and "I don't care how many hours it takes you to do X, you're only getting paid for 40" and a lot of other shameful things. The mostly, but not always, unspoken threat is "If you don't agree, we'll fire you. You get sent home and we get someone who won't balk or complain." <br><br>I wish someone would let me write the policy on immigration and naturalization. But it won't change because what we have now is in the favor of the large employers who are the ones who make the donations to our legislators and so no one wants to change it because they want those campaign contributions.
